"Do you know how long it will be before we can leave hyperspace?" Zhou Xin continued to ask. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This—" Dart hesitated, then said helplessly, "I don't know. ”

"You don't know?!" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Didn't Prit tell you?" ”

"He only told me about the existence of this hyperspace device, and nothing else was told to me because I didn't have enough permissions." Dart spread his hands, "The rest of the information will have to be found in the database after I become the next dean." ”

"That's not right." Suddenly, something occurred to Spred, and he interrupted, "Weren't you one of the Seekers before?" Isn't the Seeker's purpose to find an ancient legacy that has left the frozen planet? Now that you know about the existence of hyperspace devices, why do you need to look for ancient legacy? His words were filled with deep doubts, and his words reminded everyone, and even Christy behind Dart showed a puzzled look.

"That's what you say—" Dart said slowly, "now that I'm gone, I can say it." He paused, then told Christy a shocking fact, "Actually—the news of the Ancient Legacy first came from the second Abbot. ”

"Second Dean?" Christy was surprised and asked, "Why did he spread the news?" Doesn't this expose the secrets of the hyperspace device? ”

"And yet you didn't until now until the hyperspace device existed." Zhou Xin praised, "True and false, false and real, this second dean is very smart." Sometimes, a secret doesn't necessarily need to be hidden deeply, and making up a true lie can only make people believe that it is not true. ”

"Actually, the truth is not as complicated as you think." Dart explained, a little embarrassed, "Actually, there was a crisis in the base back then. ”

"Crisis?"

"According to the information passed down among the deans, when the second dean took over, we had been hiding on the frozen planet for eight hundred years, and in these eight hundred years, many of the first generation who stayed on the planet had died, and only a small number of people were still alive, and the people left in the base were basically the second generation of Atlanteans born on this planet. Perhaps their will was not as strong as that of the first generation, or perhaps the first generation of Atlanteans exaggerated the capabilities of their enemies. All in all, many people felt a deep sense of despair that they could only be trapped on this barren planet, and at first this sentiment was only circulated among a few Atlanteans. But—" Dart looked extremely sad at this, "the son of the second dean committed suicide out of excessive despair, and this became a fuse. ”

"Then, a lot of people fell into a panic, they thought that there was no point in continuing to live on this planet, and it was better to leave here as soon as possible than to wait for the enemy to find them, and the way they chose to leave this planet was to kill themselves."

"That's too extreme, isn't it?" Zhou Xin frowned, "Is there no other way?" I remember you said before that every generation of deans has not given up on the study of hyperspace devices? Doesn't that give them hope? ”

This issue is not detailed in the documents that have been handed down, but it is certain that the research was going on until the panic erupted, but the sudden panic brought all the work, including the research, to a halt. More than half of the second-generation Atlanteans committed suicide or wanted to commit suicide, while the rest hid in their rooms in fear. Dart's tone was very heavy, "This bad situation lasted for more than half a month, in this regard, the second generation of the dean tried many ways to appease those people, but it still had no effect, in more than half a month, more than a third of the population of the base was lost." ”

After pondering for more than half a month, he finally came up with a possible solution. He concocted a message of an ancient heritage, as well as a number of hyperspace-related phenomena. The rest of the people were really distracted by this fake news, in order to pretend to be more like, he also ordered a detailed search of the entire planet, and then everyone was deeply attracted by this news, in order to leave the planet as soon as possible, everyone took action and began to actively explore the planet. ”

"But." Speaking of this, Zhou Xin had a doubt, "From now on, they shouldn't have found the hyperspace device, so how did the second-generation dean appease them later." ”

"Every once in a while, he would disguise a hyperspace phenomenon for others to see. In this way, even if they don't find the ancient legacy, they still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts. ”

"And then they relied on that hope to hold on?" Spred said with an incredulous tone.

"Once people have hope, it is easy to survive, no." Dart spread his hands, "Later, the remaining first generation summed up the cause of the disaster and found that it was they who had problems with the education of the second generation. Since the first generation experienced the attack of the enemy, they overstated their strength when it came to the enemy, which led to panic in the second generation. Therefore, they modified the way of education, in the education of the third generation, they only introduced the enemy and how to deal with it, and did not overemphasize the strength of the enemy, this choice is correct from the current point of view, at least in the future, there is no similar situation in the base. ”

"That's a blessing." Zhou Xin said, "Back in the year in Thunderstar, I encountered a base that collapsed due to similar reasons, and I am glad that you did not repeat their mistakes."

"yes." Dart sighed, "If the second generation of deans hadn't thought of this solution, maybe our base would have completely collapsed at that time." He paused, "And so the news of the planet's ancient heritage that could allow the Atlanteans to leave the frozen planet has been circulating since then. ”

"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "We already know about the ancient heritage, so why did you join the Seeker organization?" ”

"Actually, Dean Prit asked me to join." Dart reluctantly uttered another shocking truth.

"Grandpa Dean? Why did he let you join this organization? Christy asked, surprised.

"Aren't you in this organization?" Dart shrugged his shoulders and went on to explain, "The craze for the ancient heritage has faded because the second generation of Atlanteans has not been found, but I don't know when someone dug up this old news, and based on this news, a group of seekers was established for the purpose of finding the ancient heritage. In fact, this organization was discovered by the current dean at the beginning of its establishment, but because they did not cause any harm to the base, and it may also have been in order to make this fictitious news have a soothing effect, the dean of the year also allowed this organization to exist. However, as time went on, the number of people in the group was increasing, and the behavior was becoming more aggressive, so Pratt asked me to join the group to see what they wanted to do, and if possible, to steer the group a little. ”

"And they were led to our ship?" Speaking of this, Zhou Xin smiled.

"It's just a coincidence." Dart smiled too, "Who knew you just happened to be here." ”

"Okay." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "It's good that it came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." But your ancestors left you a hyperspace device, so why didn't you leave a spaceship? ”

"Actually, there are leftovers." Dart said the shocking words again, but by this time, everyone was already numb, "Our entire base is actually a spaceship, and the first Atlanteans followed the spaceship directly to the surface of the planet. ”

"That's—"

Then Dart said in disbelief: "But this spaceship has not withstood the extreme climate of this planet, and five hundred years after the ancestors arrived on this planet, the spaceship began to be damaged. As time went on, the ship's damage became more and more severe, and finally it was impossible to even fly. ”

"How is this possible?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Isn't there a way for you to repair it?" Or build a new ship? ”

"Due to the mistake of the first generation of deans back then, he originally wanted to turn on the hyperspace device for routine inspection, but the misoperation triggered Commander Gulanz to leave the artificial intelligence protection system. This system was originally intended to be used in case the enemy did not have time to destroy the civilization data, but after it was triggered, the artificial intelligence began to delete the information of the Atlantis civilization under the mandatory requirements of the order, although the dean remedied it in time, but it still deleted most of the information related to hyperspace. This includes the ship's construction blueprints, so we can't repair the ship, let alone build a new one, and even if we have the ability to build one, the planet's resources won't be enough. Dart said helplessly, "The amount of metal in the rock formations of this planet is so small that it has no mining value at all, let alone rare metals. It can be said that this planet has no other advantages other than its hidden location. ”

"......" Zhou Xin was a little speechless, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Your first-generation dean is really unlucky." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Dart's voice was a little lost, but after a while he perked up again, "It's so hard, but at least we've stumbled to survive to this day, but it's a pity that we met them again......"

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be about to become sad again, Zhou Xin hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, have you seen that big cabinet?" ”

"Big cabinets? What big cabinets? Dart looked puzzled, "I don't see any big cabinets." ”

"It's a big cabinet that the researchers brought up when they retreated, it was useless for me to tell them, they insisted on moving the cabinet, and then I contacted Prit, and he insisted that I bring the cabinet, and then told me to ask you later."

"Cabinets? What cabinet is so important? They haven't told me for a few days. Dart was still puzzled.

Seeing that Dutt didn't know anything about the cabinet, Zhou Xin also felt very strange, and then the voice of the Voyager came, "That cabinet is still in the No. 1 engineering ship." ”

"Why are you still in there? Didn't anyone move it inside the ship? ”

"You know, all people and belongings that come back from the extraterrestrial world, including ships, are to be inspected. For this kind of examination, those Atlanteans were also very cooperative with us. But when the ship offered to inspect the cabinet, they sternly refused, on the grounds that it contained extremely important secrets that could not be opened unless you or Captain Dart inspected it yourself. The robot tried several times but was blocked by them, and they couldn't get on the ship without checking the items, so the ship also refused their request to bring the cabinet to the ship. Because of this, they had to temporarily leave the cabinet in the No. 1 engineering ship, and sent a person to guard the cabinet in turn every day, which caused the ship to be temporarily unable to repair the No. 1 engineering ship. The Voyager reported.

After listening to the traveler's words, Zhou Xin felt a little surprised, "Why didn't you report such an important matter to me." ”

"This matter is not as important as the maintenance of this ship." The Voyager replied solemnly, "Although it is not possible to inspect the cabinet in detail, the ship still conducted a remote investigation of it, and after the inspection, it was found that the cabinet seemed to be some mechanical devices, and there were no dangerous goods, so the ship postponed this trivial matter." ”

"......" Zhou Xin was a little speechless, then he remembered something, and then looked at Dart with a strange gaze, "It's a bit normal that the Voyager didn't tell me, but why didn't those people tell you?" Didn't they think that cabinet was very important, so why didn't they notify you the first time they got on board? And then used such a troublesome method to take turns guarding the cabinet. ”

"None of them told me how I would know." Dart looked puzzled, "Wait, I'll call them over and ask." Seeing that this matter was so strange, Dart also began to pay attention to it.

"Now there is still a person guarding the engineering ship, and the ship can contact him now." The Voyager answered.

"Okay." Zhou Xin nodded, then contact the person in the engineering ship, let's see what is the mystery in that cabinet......
